In reply to: Kmet could also return. posted by smithwick
I like Kmet's game a lot, but Eifert was considerably more of a threat as a receiver.
to be a more complete TE.
The collarbone injury no doubt set him back in terms of strength.
He also lacks strength in his lower base. That has been apparent to me in the games thus far. He could do a much better job of breaking tackles once he builds some more strength.
His blocking is inconsistent. Should be much better...and will be in due time.
Even with some of those shortcomings that scouts might ding him for--he will likely be a 1st round pick if he opts to come out.
who stayed his senior year to play with his brother, Kmet appears to want to play a year with his brother on the baseball team. I don't believe he'd be able to be drafted and then finish out the season playing baseball, but I could be wrong.
Agree though that he's the most well-rounded of the bunch.
Just couldn't play football.
There are players, like Jeff Samardzija, who signed Pro Baseball contracts and returned to play college football.
Got a $400 k signing bonus from the Orioles, after which, he still played college basketball
